After riding some mx at my friends house last week, I noticed that the little red knob that adjusts the hydro clutch is missing. This isn't necessary unless I need to adjust it....right? I'm going to ballancemotox tonight if it doesn't effect the clutch. I guess I'm going to need another one. If you have one let me know.

By the way. I went ahead and went to BallancemotoX tonight. The girlfriend and I had taken a bike ride for a good workout before I went. Man was I tired when I got to the track. So I pull in and I'm automatically looking for Bill since his uncle owns the track. Every time I have been there, he hasn't. So I find a parking spot. This track is crazy. I got there at 7:00pm on a Tuesday night and the place is packed. I look to my left when I stop the truck. I see a white suzuki and this skinny guy standing next to it. I said, "That looks like Jeremiah Jones." With a little more staring I finally decided that it was JJ! Then I start feeling intimidated. I'm going to be on the same track riding with JJ. So I walk up to the fence to check the track out and I see another Cannondale. I didn't get a chance to talk to the guy. Hopefully he will be there this weekend. As I walk to the fence, I look to my right as I'm scanning the crowd. One face immediately sticks out. William Yokely is standing right next to me. He wasn't geared up though so I guess he just watched for a while. Well, they finish up the big bikes and I run to get ready. I was still in shock to see 2 pros there besides Bill. Then I realize that they are going to let JJ and 2 other guys practice first so I sit back down. I didn't get to ride with JJ but when it was my turn I tried to ride as fast as him. Impossible! When I got finished with my 1st practice session, I can't find William. I wasn't going to be able to talk to JJ. It seemed like he had people around him the whole night. During the last practice session, I did actually get to ride with JJ and the 2 other guys. Man is he fast! So at least I got to ride with a GNC pro. Oh...and the cannondale performed like a true race bred machine.:head: I really feel like I was faster than most through the 3 whoops sections and rhythm section. They have the advantage on the big jumps since I'm running glamis ohlins fronts on stock cannibal arms and the fox "podium series":rolleyes: rear shock.

It will be fine running without knob unless the adjuster screw moves.If it does go in to far the clutch will slip because fluid wont be allowed to go back in resevoir.

That sounds like a good time Jess!! It almost doesn't make any sense how fast the big boys are. How do they do it? They make it look sooo simple, like they're not even trying! Ah well, if we can't be as fast as them, at least we get to watch them!!!:hammer: :hammer:

if you had arvins, i think you could've took them.

I agree with rookie, look for someone to trade.

It was a fun time. Yeah the arvins might have helped but if only they made an arvins rear. The quality of arvins is unmatched by the fox podium series.
